My Son Sanctuary

Tucked away in a lush valley surrounded by majestic mountains, the My Son Sanctuary stands as a vibrant testament to the brilliant Champa civilization that flourished between the 4th and 14th centuries. Located just an hour’s drive from Hoi An Historic Hotel, this site is one of the most significant Hindu temple complexes in Southeast Asia and was honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

Visiting My Son, you will be mesmerized by the masterful construction techniques of ancient builders. The moss-covered red brick towers were joined using a mysterious bonding material that scientists have yet to fully decode. Intricate carvings on the temple walls depict Hindu deities, graceful Apsara dancers, and sacred religious symbols, reflecting the spiritual richness of a bygone era.

More than just an “outdoor museum” of architecture and sculpture, My Son offers a sense of tranquility and mystery amidst pristine nature. Do not miss the chance to enjoy traditional Cham dance performances on the open-air stage in the heart of the sanctuary. A journey to My Son is not merely a sightseeing trip; it is a step back in time to rediscover enchanting ancient cultural values. Whether you are a history buff or a photography lover, My Son promises an unforgettable highlight for your stay in Hoi An.
